"Career Options for Law Graduates" Webinar Chicago-Kent College of Law "Learning by Doing Open House" University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Campus Visit On October 20, 2009, Christine Bodewes will spend the day at Calvin, meeting with Pre-Law students and speaking at several Calvin College classes and presenting a lecture at 3:30 p.m. Dr. Bodewes recently completed her PhD work at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, where she focused on the role of churches in civic education in Africa. She will be meeting with interested Calvin Pre-Law students at lunch; contact Pre-Law Advisor Joel Westra to reserve a place at the lunch. For seven years, Dr. Bodewes was a partner in a large Chicago law firm practicing corporate securities litigation. In 1997, she became a Maryknoll lay missioner, moving to Nairobi, Kenya, where she worked on legal reform and civic education in Kibera (the largest slum in Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa). Bodewes co-founded the land rights program at the Legal Aid Clinic in Kibera, as well as founding the Office of HumanRights, a grass roots program providing free legal service, civic education and advocacy on human rights issues to slum dwellers. Her eight years of work in Kenya involved many facets of civic education, legal aid, advocacy and lobbying on a broad range of human rights issues impacting the community, such as land and housing problems, forced evictions, slum upgrading, illegal distribution of illicit brews and evangelization amidst the poverty and despair surrounding the impoverished people living in the Kibera slum.
